Christmas Magic: THE LAST CRUISE PAGE (I think)

Got back into the Christmas Spirit with this page. The Cruise ship was all decked out for Christmas and during one trip to the atrium, I got THE MAN to pose on the stairs for me. Of course it was quite busy so I had to be patient while people used the stairs....

I really wanted to showcase this photo so built up a lot of layers and then added a nice chunk of cardboard....always love working with that! Some vintage velvet leaves, a key, paper scrap banners, a vintage doily and some cheese cloth completed the decorating. Those skeleton leaves were a gift from Lizzy Hill ages ago that I turned up from the Christmas paper stash.

Here is a side view so you can see some of the scraps I used and the glitter & gold.

I also used something NEW on this page that I am QUITE excited about.

A NEWLY released Tim Holtz lace stencil is finding it's way onto my projects! I love it quite a lot so I am sure I'll overuse it again and again....I first saw it at the Funkie Junkie Boutique which is a rockin' scrap place to shop. It's like getting the most fabulous present when you place an order with her!
